Unfortunately a sign of the times. I absolutely loved teaching but realised after nearly two decades, that it was no longer sustainable. Not sure how the government can fix this. www.telegraph.co.uk/money/jobs/s...

It’s time for change. We need to act now. Email your local MP using our quick online tool and get Government to sit up and listen and end the teacher mental health crisis. Just two minutes of your time, to create lasting change to thousands of educators. buff.ly/3VqfnUS #EduSky

Interesting - thank you. I know exclusion review panels/appeals is a niche topic, but it's ripe for change. If you're doing more work on exclusions, pls remember it's not only teachers & leaders who are tired www.nga.org.uk/news-views/d...

Building teams. We shouldn’t ask ‘will they fit in with us?’. We should ask instead, what don’t we currently have? What perspectives and ideas and styles will challenge our thinking, provide different insights, bring divergent views? What voices are we missing? That’s team building for me.
